"Geese is a low heavy set bird composed mostly of meat and feathers. His head sits on one side and he sits on the other. Goose can't sing much on account of the dampness of the moisture. There ain't nothing between his toes but skin and he carries a small balloon in his stomach to keep from sinking. Geese has only two legs and they are set so far back on his running gear that they come pretty near missing his body. Some of the geese when they get big are called ganders and have curls on them. Ganders don't have to sit and hatch, but just loaf, go swimming and eat. If I was a goose I would rather be a gander anytime.
